- ALT1:... that its said that Hetty Jane Dunaway's Theater and Gardens lost their appeal due to television and better roads to Atlanta? Source: "Paved roads and radio and finally it was television..."

- Hi Victuallers, I'll take a look at these today. My initial comment is that you should specify the United States, I initially thought of Georgia the country when I read the hooks - Dumelow (talk) 10:31, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks I think I dabbed that by using Atlanta which doesnt have the ambiguity. Good spot. Victuallers (talk) 11:01, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Victuallers, looks fine to me. Dunaway article crated 16 April and the gardens article 5x expanded from same date; sources used look reliable enough; articles are well written; I didn't notice any overly close paraphrasing form the sources I checked. Hook facts are mentioned in Dunaway article and check out to the sources cited, preference for ALT0 personally but either works. 2xQPQ carried out. Image is fine and appropriately licensed.
